Comment 8 for bug 427289

ok, finally fond my voltmeter:
if the board is powered off completely i see 1.104V measuring directly on the battery.
powering up the board this does not change at all. given that the regulator should initialize a charge, i would expect the voltage to change the moment the charger gets initialized but this does not happen.

it can very likely be that my battery is dead (which would be very sad given that it is not easily replaceable without soldering) but i would still expect seeing teh voltage raise as soon as the charger initializes.
